I doubt if robots will ever replace the tool and die makers. Many of them are artisans. My father-in-law was one. Y'know how the plastic soda bottles have five little "feet" on the bottom? That was...

Martha's silicone molds

I picked up a package of Martha Stewart's silicone molds that are made to be used with her air-drying clay. Wondering if I could use them with UTEE as well? Thanks- Suz

The Ink Pad is tiny, but fun. It's at 37 7th Ave, the corner of 13th Street. (You'd think a city the size on NY would have more such stores!) I would hope by holiday time, lower Manhattan will be...
